Stalgast 86 L Refrigerated Display Cabinet

The four-sided glass and interior light let customers see every shelf without opening the door, so the forced-air system keeps the temperature steady even during busy service. A compressor circulates refrigerant through coils inside the cabinet, pulling heat from the interior and releasing it outside. Forced air circulation moves the cooled air evenly across every shelf, preventing warm spots and ensuring consistent temperatures throughout the unit. This method allows the cabinet to hold food at safe serving temperatures without drying it out or causing frost build-up on the shelves themselves. The operator loads the cabinet by opening the full-height glass door from either side. Three adjustable wire shelves can be repositioned to fit different product heights. Once the food is placed, the door is closed and the automatic defrost cycle begins at set intervals, melting any ice that forms on the evaporator coils. A condensate container collects the water, eliminating the need for manual draining. An interior light illuminates the contents, making the food visible through the glass on all four sides. The cabinet is constructed with a stainless-steel interior and exterior, providing durability and easy cleaning. The glass panels are sealed to prevent condensation between layers. The forced air system includes a fan that runs continuously to maintain airflow, while the compressor cycles on and off to hold the temperature between 0 °C and +12 °C. The 86 litre volume allows for organised storage of chilled items without overcrowding, and the 429 mm width fits standard worktop depths in professional kitchens. Controls are minimal: a thermostat sets the desired temperature within the 0 °C to +12 °C range, and the automatic defrost function operates without user intervention. The 230 V power requirement matches standard UK single-phase circuits, allowing the cabinet to be plugged into a typical kitchen outlet. The 0.16 kW power rating reflects the compressor's running load, which is lower than that of a blast chiller or freezer due to the higher temperature range. The smooth glass panels and stainless-steel frame wipe clean in seconds, while the removable condensate container collects drips so you never mop the floor beneath the unit. The adjustable shelves can be removed for thorough cleaning, and the condensate container should be emptied regularly to prevent overflow. The forced air system requires occasional vacuuming of the fan and coil area to remove dust that could impede airflow. The cabinet is designed as a standalone unit for countertop or floor placement, with no additional variants listed for this model.
